The second pair of contestants are unrelated to each other- Rachael (who should've had a new baby last month) & Cameron. They've got the Nine Checks Deal.

Rachael: #7Cameron: #4

1. $5002. $7003. $3K

Cameron turns down what was in the big box...an iMac & MacBook worth $2,498.

4. $150

Let's see some more unclaimed checks:5. $1.5K6. $99

Rachael doesn't play the odds and goes with Curtain #2 instead of keeping her check or bailing out with the computers...as a result, the two giant pennies KNOCK HER OUT OF THE GAME W/ $100. That will cost her...$3,700.

Lucy from Marietta, CA (who's wearing a green wig) is next given the choice of revealing the first two letters in either the prize behind Curtain #3 or in the silver small box (Jonathan Mangum). She chooses Curtain #3...M & I are the first two letters, so she might have a chance to go to Miami, FL. Lucy definitely rejects the box...in there was a Yves Saint Laurent black leather handbag & a red wallet w/ a thousand bucks inside, all worth $2,840. After being offered $500, $700 & $900, she stays w/ her curtain after giving back $1,100...and she HAS won a trip to the Mondrian South Beach Hotel in MIAMI BEACH worth $6,591! This deal will continue towards the end of this episode.

The next three traders are all female- Tana, Maria & Rhonda (the latter two of which are cheerleaders). They each start out w/ $700.

Small box:NOBODY-Luxury spa day ($2,015; everyone's given another $300 each)Big box:NOBODY-Marionette show (they're awarded yet another $300)Curtain #1:NOBODY-Dining room set ($5,172)

A girl named Stacy (who's dressed as a vampire) is in for a treat- she's about to play the show's new "Millionaire" rip-off called "Who Wants to Answer Multiple Choice Questions for Cash & Prizes"!

1. Which of the following was used in the first deal of the day?A: A deck of cardsB: DiceC: Unicorn

$500 GUESS: A deck of cards

2. Which of these prizes has appeared on the show already?A: Trip to New YorkB: ComputerC: Jet ski

$1K GUESS:Computer ($1.5K)

3. What was the amount of the first check during the Nine Checks Deal?A: $99B: $500C: $1,800

$2K GUESS:$500 ($3.5K)

At this moment of the game, she can keep all the money she's accumulated or buy either Curtain #2 or #3, one of which has a new car behind it. She goes for it w/ Curtain #3...but it's a green ZONK Beetle. That means NO KIA Rio for her.

Let's get back to the First Two Letters Deal w/ Brian (who's wearing a yellow/black shirt w/ a whistle). He's offered the silver small box & Curtain #1, and he chooses to have his hint revealed for Curtain #1...the first two letters are C & A. He doesn't think a car's back there this late in regulation play, so he forfeits that for the box...he missed out on some BAD camping equipment, so he's won a Sea-Doo GTI SE-130 that's valued at $8,699- PERFECT DEAL!But he then sells it right back to go for the Big Deal of the Day!

THE BIG DEAL: It's worth $30,487 in cash and/or stuff this morning. With his wife Sandra (dressed as a Hawaiian) joining him for a little assistance, they pick Door #2 because that has their lucky number. Door #3 had a blue retro kitchen appliance trio worth $8,685...and the door furthest to the left contained a Wii Fitness center that included the Toshiba 47" LCD HDTV worth $2,140, so Brian has just become the BIGGEST WINNER OF SEASON 2 SO FAR!!! He & Sandra...are going on these really nice second honeymoons to the Four Seasons Resort in Lanai, HI & the Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris!Today's grand total is $43,728!

Instead of playing Pay the Rent (and Adam Sandler gets on camera as a result), Michel will have to settle for taking on Lucky $even for a 2011 Chevrolet Equinox (Std., LPO)(Lanisha). He gets off to a good start by identifying three as the second digit in the car's price. His second number choice is five...

$ 2 3 , 7 _ _

...two bucks, sir. He then goes down to four...

$ 2 3 , 7 8 _

...but that only leaves him w/ a dollar left. He then goes for nine...

$ 2 3 , 7 8 5

...good guess, but that's NOT the last digit in the ARP, meaning he loses.

Diana Fonsecca then takes his place and the second IUFB is several watches from the La Mer Collections (Lanisha & Manuela).

Coming on down next is Mitchell Ahlenius and the fourth IUFB is a 48-piece collection of crystal stemware (Lanisha in the clam).

Mitchell: $875Amy: $1KAmber: $1,100Helina: $1,101

Helina from Vegas plays Magic Number for a Playstation 3 package (Manuela) & a trip to San Diego (Rachel). She sets her # at $1,116.

We may be trying again for a win w/ Trina Jeffrey and the next IUFB is a couple of iPhone4s w/ the one-year calling plan (Lanisha).

Trina: $1,250Mitchell: $1,100Amy: $1,251Amber: $1,252

ARP: $1,718

Amber, the last of Wednesday's First Four, plays Let 'Em Roll (Lanisha) for a Mazda3 (Rachel at Door #3) worth $20,435. The groceries on today's table are Mrs. Smith's Pumpkin Pie, Northland Cranberry Pomegranate Juice & a small box of Turtles. Prices:

Pie: $6.49Juice: $3.39Candy: $2.49She only goes Lower on the juice for two rolls.1. CAR/CAR/CAR/$1.5K/$1.5K- $3K BAILOUT

The last person to exit the Peanut Gallery today is Rachel Brigoni and the final IUFB's a Panasonic Blu-Ray Disc home theater system (Rachel at the turntable; includes the 160 GB iPod).

Rachel: $924Rena: $1,250Mitchell: $2,250Amy: $1,260

ARP: $1,249

Rena made the one-buck overbid (and Amy was over by $11), so Rachel will play Bonkers for a contemporary home theater seating group, the JVC 46" LCD HDTV and a popcorn cart (Lanisha at Door #3). Board:

The first Showcase is revealed to have some Judith Ripka jewelry (Rachel), the FlyScooters (Lanisha at Door #3) and a Mazda Miata Sport (Std., AT)(Manuela at Door #2).AMBER BIDS 25 GRAND ON CAR SHOWCASE- STAGE GARF (that roughly covers the Miata only)

Robert's able to HIT THE DECK for $1,000. Tonight, all of these military people are men:

Robert Foote (Missoula, MT)- A Marines gunnery sergaent/combat instructor who has been with them for 14 yearsStephen Milan (Waynesville, MO)- Air Force medicDavid Garcia (Plainview, TX)- Army staff sergeant/recruiter

$2,000 Toss-Up category is Things:

P U _ _ - U _ _

& / P _ _ _ - _ _ S

David guesses PUSH-UPS & PULL-UPS...that's the right order for control.

And he starts the Eggland's Best Jackpot Round w/ a category of In the Kitchen; this round is also being sponsored by Sears, and the Dick's Sporting Goods gift tag is out there. He Bankrupts next to the $2,500 wedge right away; that's the third night in a row that the first spin of an episode has landed on one. Secondly, Robert hits the other regular Bankrupt. Third, Stephen calls two R's for $1,200 and buys two E's, but then a dud of S follows. David's back in command w/ two T's for $1,200, but he also duds out with L. On Robert's second turn in this round, he calls a $600 N, buys an A, but next is D for dud. Stephen next calls a $450 P, buys an I, but his next call of H is a dud. After David puts up two C's for another $1,600, we have...

C _ _ N T E R T _ P

_ I C R _ _ A _ E

...he solves COUNTERTOP MICROWAVE for another $2,800 and $4,800 total.

This is a Before & After Round. Up first is Robert, who lands on Lose a Turn immediately. Second, Stephen calls a dud in R. Third, David calls two T's for $1,600, an $800 S, N & L, buys an E & O, lights up an $800 W and purchases two I's to clean out the vowels before lighting an $800 P and ringing in w/ the following...

W E S T

P O I N T

& / _ L I _ _

...but he goofs by two letters w/ WEST POINT & CLIMB, possibly costing him $4,850; prior to that, he hit the same red $800 space next to LaT SIX times in a row. Afterwards, Robert has two C's appear for $1,100...

W E S T

P O I N T

& / C L I C _

...and he gets WEST POINT & CLICK to slightly more than double his cash total to $2,100.

SOLE DUD: $800 R (Stephen)SOLE LaT: RobertSOLE DQ: David (missolve)

The IHOP Mystery/Prize Puzzle Round deals w/ some Food & Drink; this is also a pretty big puzzle. Stephen's first at bat by dudding out immediately w/ the R for the second round in a row. Second, David goes to Bankruptville next to the top dollar wedge for the second time tonight. Third, Robert calls an S while on the Mystery Wedge in between Free Play & LaT and flips it over...$10,000! After a T for the gift tag & two N's for a grand, he buys five I's & three E's but then a possibly fatal dud in M. Stephen follows that w/ the same Bankrupt David's gotten twice before, then David calls five C's for three big ones and we have the following up there...

C _ I C _ E N

E N C _ I _ _ _ _

_ I T _ / C _ I _ I

S _ _ C E

...but he gets DISQUALIFIED for adding an S to the second word of this puzzle, so he probably lost the mystery trip & $3K in potential spending money. Robert then runs into LaT for the second time on the night, then we have Stephen putting up a quartet of H's for $1,400 and here's the board now...

C H I C _ E N

E N C H I _ _ _ _

_ I T H / C H I _ I

S _ _ C E

...he eats this CHICKEN ENCHILADA WITH CHILI SAUCE to get on the board w/ that much dough and a trip to the GrandVelas All Suites & SPA Resort in Riviera Nayarit, Mexico worth $9,600, for a total this round of $11,000 in cash & vacation; Stephen misses out on $21,100 in cash & stuff as a result of some late bad luck, while David gave back $12,600 in cash & Mexico thanks to his wrong answer.

Robert's the RIGHT-HAND MAN to boost his second-place score to $5,100.

The Last Chance Round subject is Song Lyrics and the consonants each pay off at $1,600. Late in this round, Robert has a P lit by Vanna...

T _ / T H _ / S H _ R _ S

_ _ / T R _ P _ L _

...and he knows "TO THE SHORES OF TRIPOLI" from the Marines' Hymn for an additional $4,800 and leaves us w/ a Benjamin shy of $10K. David's final check from this show is $4,800 & Stephen hangs on w/ his Mystery Round haul of $11,400 in cash & Mexico.

$25,700 in cash & travel was won tonight in yet another NASTY maingame.

SOLE DUD: N (Robert)

THE 15TH CENTURYTHE QUOTABLE STEVE CARELLJELLY BELLY FLAVORSCLASSICAL MUSICNEXT IN THE SERIESMEET ME IN THE "QUAD"

After being correct on the $400 "Quad" clue to make it to the $1K mark, Sam goes Daily Double Hunting, starting in the middle of The 15th Century...it takes just two clues for him to find it under the $800 clue! With $1,600, he's $600 behind Sid for the early lead, while Lea's $200 in the hole. He goes for a True DD worth $3,200 when it comes to this clue:

In 1421, The Ming Dynasty moved its capital from Nanking to this city.

"What is Beijing?"...DOUBLER! By the time the first commercial break starts, Sid's just $400 behind him and Lea's $2K in the positive.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF"Adult Swim"WORLD RELIGIONSPLANT SCIENCETEXTBOOKSSAME VOWEL WORDS (each correct response only has one vowel and may very well appear multiple times)

Sam finds his second DD of the night at the end of Hail to the Chief. He has $9,600, Sid has $5,400 & Lea's $400 out of second place. Sam's wager this time is the face value of the clue, which this time is:

On July 2, 1921, he interrupted his golf game & formally ended hostilities w/ Germany by signing a treaty.

"Who is (Warren G.) Harding?"...yes to slightly move into Lock Game Territory & $11,600! He then immediately goes hunting for the last remaining one of this semi-final show...but later on, it's Lea who discovers it underneath the $800 clue on Textbooks. Her current total of $12,200 is just $600 off Sam's first place score; Sid's a fairly distant third w/ $6,200. She bets three thou, so she could take over the lead after we reveal this answer:

In Ancient Rome, it was a post where racers changed direction; since 1836, it's meant a moment change occurs.

Sid Chandrasekhar's response was "What is the end of the road?"...it might literally be, because we have to take away $3,600 for that, so he finishes tonight at $1,800. Sam wrote down something weird in "What is Fin de secele?"...that means "End of the century", so he's wrong. That costs him...$6,399 and sends him back to $10,801, so that means Sid's definitely going home $10K richer. Lea Tottle thought "What is a pit stop?"...she must've been watching way too much of "The Amazing Race" like yours truly, because that's NOT right, either; we call the moment in question the turning point. Her wager...$17,599-Sam's a finalist!

DFtL!: Tonight's cheerleader is (San Diego) Charger Girl Katie (who graduated from California State University-Long Beach; her charity is Susan G. Komen for the Cure). Her game's being sponsored by Yoplait Delights.

5th Grader: Boyz II Men won $500,000 in charity money on "Don't Forget the Lyrics!" more than two years ago; let's see if they added a quarter million to that. This time, they played for the Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital, and they took turns answering the questions from these topics:

FIRST SINGER TO BAT: Wanya MorrisFIRST CLASSMATE: MadisonOPENING SUBJECT: English

"Loaves" is the plural form of what noun?

Wanya got them on the board with "loaf".

SUBJECT #2: Art

T or F: Grey's a secondary color.

He said True...False.

SUBJECT #3: World History

What's the total number of ships that Christopher Columbus set sail w/ on his first voyage to The New World in 1492?

The Nina, Pinta & Santa Maria added up to three, and Wayna knew that.

SECOND SINGER: Nathan MorrisSECOND CLASSMATE: TJSUBJECT #4: Grammar

What word in the following sentence is a form of the verb "to be"- "Jane said she is glad to study for the test because she loves getting good grades"?

He was way off target w/ "getting"; it was just "is", said by Madison.

What U.S. state's bordered by the Bering Sea?

Nathan guessed Alaska...for $7.5K in cold charity cash!

SUBJECT #6: World Geography

T or F: Egypt's the only country that the Nile River flows through.

Nathan & I both correctly thought that was False (as did TJ) for a new total of $8.5K.

FINAL SINGER: Shawn StockmanFINAL CLASSMATE: AntonioSUBJECT #7: U.S. History

In 1840, "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" was a U.S. Presidential campaign slogan. "Tyler" refers to John Tyler, the Vice-Presidential candidate. "Tippecanoe" refers to what man who would win the election and become President?

Shawn quickly Peeked at Antonio's answer and kept it, but James Buchanan was NOT the President we were looking for; William Henry Harrison was.

FINAL SUBJECT: Measurements

By definition, a cubic meter's a unit of which of the following types of measurements?A: LengthB: WidthC: Volume

After eliminating volume, the Copy was activated...good thing Shawn did that, because Antonio had the right answer of volume to keep this band in the game.

Crayola Extra Credit Question: According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, what's America's most popular vegetable- carrots, green beans or potatoes?First Choice Eliminated: Green beansANSWER: PotatoesThey risked a C-note to go for $35K.BONUS QUESTION CATEGORY:Math
